Organic Certification For Producers and Processors
In Integrated Organic Services, we work with your team to explain the organic standards in the countries where the organic products are marketed and to understand the requirements of the certification agency with which you want to certify products.
When your business contracts our services, we help you to save time and money and to avoid delays and complications during the organic certification process. Our expertise and knowledge of the organic industry in Latin America, the USA, and Canada are at the disposition of your purchasing, production and quality departments.
